Deutsche Post DHL increases guidance for 2010

The moderate recovery observed in the first quarter of 2010 has solidified
in the second quarter of 2010. In this environment, the DHL divisions in
particular have fared better than was expected at the start of the year.
Even in the event of a moderate increase in growth for the latter half of
the year, we have adjusted our outlook for full-year earnings for these
divisions:

For 2010 as a whole, we now expect consolidated EBIT before non-recurring
items to reach EUR 1.9 billion to EUR 2.1 billion. As anticipated earlier
this year, the MAIL division is likely to contribute between EUR 1.0
billion and EUR 1.2 billion. For the DHL divisions, we now assume earnings
totalling around EUR 1.3 billion. Corporate Center / Other should
come in just below the prior year with a result of around EUR - 0.4
billion.

The restructuring measures taken in the previous year on the order of EUR 1
billion will reduce cash flow in 2010, as planned. Consolidated net profit
is expected to continue to improve in 2010 in line with our operating
business.

The interim report on the first half of 2010 will be released on August
3rd, 2010.
